All sources of income for any government go into one bag of money. All government expenses come out of that one bag. There's no way to enforce that the government use income from source A to fund program B. (At least not in my country, in other countries there could be multiple branches of government with their own independent sources of income.)

Basically, this group is asking for more taxes and more government spending on their special interest. It is neither criminal nor immoral to ask for more taxes and more government spending. But it's self serving when such requests come from special interest groups who are only concerned with themselves. I prefer listening to people who are concerned with the whole system and the big picture.

We need an Orson Welles today to make a movie like Citizen Kane about Mark Zuckerberg. 

Companies like Intel and Dell might be lobbying with (or paying) Microsoft to not release it, because it will only damage their sales when they can't build equally fast systems.

The new kernel is therefore able to be run natively on Apple Silicon hardware, including the M1 Mac mini and the 24-inch iMac.

The iPad Pro now has an M1. Is it expected to work on the iPad Pro eventually?

I once wrote a letter to Asimov and I got a typewritten and signed postcard back from him. I asked him why he wrote science fiction if, as he wrote in one of his science books, "I live to learn." He answered me, in short, by saying that "you can learn from anything and everything."
